Default THE PERFECT CAR

I recently had modifications done to my 2002 Z06 to improve performance without affecting everyday drivability. I decided on Dyno-Tech Engineering in Fort Wayne, Ind. over Lingenfelter mainly because DTE was a smaller operation, and I always had access to Phil Rickard, the owner. It was a gamble, knowing that LPE had a great reputation and DTE was fairly new. I could not be happier with the results. The package consisted of a HD aluminum radiator, intake, H/C package, aluminum flywheel, HD clutch, SW headers with stock cat-back exhaust. It was detuned to 442RWHP/402RWTQ, gets 30mpg on the highway with the a/c on, easy to drive with great power in reserve. I was most impressed with how honest Phil Rickard was, informing me what I could expect, and would actually talk me out of adding something if he didn't think that I would need it. Having owned a 1968 Shelby GT500KR, a ZR1, Porsche 911 Turbo, and a Viper GTS, this is proving to be the perfect car for me. Thanks for the expertise and service to Jackie and Phil at DTE....Oh, and by the way, this car is easily the quickest car I have ever owned

911DrPf, Do you mind giving me a ballpark on what this ran you ($$) Don't give me exact because of advertising vendors and such but I am interested as to how the price compares to LPE.

Thanks
